Iran War Update

The Houthi’s can—and have—hit ships in the Strait as well.

How would you suggest opening it? You seem to have an answer for everything, or should I say….how not to do it? There are lots of ships passing in the straits. Cargo ships sit high with a minimal draft. Supertankers can be 1200’ long and have a width (beam) of 200+ feet. Their draft can be 80+ feet. These might need center passage to navigate these drafts. They also prefer a mile or two of distance between each other in open seas. Close passage can create a squat effect (attraction) to each other. Ever been fishing in the ship channel and watch a single passing tanker suck all the water away from the bank? These ships can take miles to stop. Can’t take a chance on Iran successfully planting a mine. One sunken tanker could really wreak havoc. I have no answer as to how to open the straits. Trump’s doing what he can with diplomacy, without giving them $billions. A little positivity goes a ling way, but some people don’t possess any.

You’re dreaming, brother. The strait is closed because Iran says it is. There hasn’t been a single US warship even try to make a pass through there because they know that they’d be sitting ducks for Iran’s remaining missiles and drones. We quite simply cannot take control of the strait without owning the ground alongside it, and that would take boots on the ground. It was well known before this excursion was started, but Trump believed that our weapons would scare the Iranians into giving up. It did the opposite. We’re fighting a military was and they’re fighting an economic one. And for reference, you’re abjectly wrong. Our carriers go through the strait of Hormuz anytime they want. That’s what’s so irritating about the sheople eating up the whole “we have air and sea control” when it’s obviously a lie. Send a few frigates up there and see what happens. It’s why every day the White House spokespeople are like “the strait isn’t closed… we’ve got reports that Iran allowed two tankers to pass through yesterday.” So why aren’t we floating around out there opening the thing up? Our navy would get pieced up in the Strait. credit Google Yes, U.S. Navy aircraft carriers routinely transit the Strait of Hormuz to enter and exit the Persian Gulf as part of routine patrols and to project power in the Middle East, often accompanied by carrier strike groups. Notable recent transits include the USS Abraham Lincoln (2019, 2012) and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower(2023).

Nice! Appreciate it.

Round 1 interviews Monday , from a guy getting an interview.

I guess you don't understand what full control means. The strait is still closed because he is negotiating, trying to get a peace deal. You can't be that ate up with Trump to not realize after hitting over 15,000 military and other targets, destroying their navy and air force, if we wanted, we could make a ghost town out of the strait and make it safe to go through. Your carrier comment is ridiculous because those vessels are not designed for close quarters.

It is going to be a complete circus if they get a majority of even one in the house....That would almost be worth it to see them try and get stuff to the Senate, only to fail.....

No, sir… Pakistan confirmed that the Iranian demand that all attacks their allies (in Lebanon, etc.) was in the ceasefire agreement. [Hidden Content] Basically put, Iran says hostilities against all of us must stop, we agreed, but then Israel said “no, we don’t agree to a ceasefire, and you don’t speak for us, Fatso” before hitting Lebanon harder than ever. So now Trump is like “well, that’s between Israel and Lebanon, but you’d better open that strait” and Iran is like “I guess we don’t have a ceasefire after all.” A better question is, why does Trump keep saying that we have “full control over air and sea” but the strait is still closed? Donnie’s lying again, and you’re lapping it all up and asking for seconds. Send a carrier through the strait and see what happens.

Update This is a non-issue pipe dream. Not only would they need 3/4 votes in both chambers, the VP would have to agree......

These people hate Trump and there’s no doubt in my mind that there’s nothing in the Epstein files showing criminal actions by Trump. Funny how none of you Dems ever talk about your presidential candidates. Here they are….. [Hidden Content]

Yep, the coach they planned to hire from the beginning told them to “pound sand” when he got all the information on the district. They will need to find someone who is naive and knows nothing about how schools run or what is needed to build a program. Whomever they end up with is likely to have a new Supt and school board shortly after he is hired. A new coordinator from one of the school types that you mentioned is probably the best bet.

Another thing I forgot to tell you -- Islam preaches "lying" to advance their sickness! Point is, you can't trust them. And Trump knows this!
-
So, you are quoting Iran's side of the cease fire list! This is Iran's list that they gave to CNN. This list you want to be true, Trump and Vance said it's garbage! Taking our enemy's side is, well...

I'm so happy to see someone doing something to save college sports. The transfer portal and NIL are like so many rules/laws that have been passed. They start off with good intentions, but are quickly manipulated and taken advantage of by sorry people and lawyers.
